Chapter 958:

Carrie took the phone, her fingers brushing against its surface—still warm from Kyson’s touch.

It was strange. She could joke and talk freely with Daxton, treating him as nothing more than a friend. But with Kyson, she could never quite cross that line. To her, he was just an acquaintance… or at most, a friend’s older brother. Things that seemed casual to others felt oddly intimate to her.

Yet, at some point, hadn’t she already shattered that restraint? She had gone with Camille to scout male escorts, and she had even spent the night with a stranger in a hotel—things a traditionally reserved girl wouldn’t do.
